This panel from the Peanuts comic strip of Dec. 17, 1954 – whose promise we're not responsible for – is collected in Fantagraphics' 650-page-long smile, The Complete Peanuts: 1950-1954 box set ($49.95). After iPods, PlayStations (see p.60), gift certificates to Canadian pharmaceutical Web sites, and the 7-disc History of Soccer on DVD (see p.57), it might just be the gift the year.
